Language Liberalism Freethought Birds
Verbing Weirds Language only if you're expecting it to work in a simple way. This is a special case of the more general truth that Language Weirds.
Only when a republic's life is in danger should a man uphold his government when it is in the wrong. There is no other time.
The church says Earth is flat; but I have seen its shadow on the moon, and I have more confidence in a shadow than the church.
If we can't find Heaven, there are always bluejays.
Well, I went to enature.com and tried to find out what this guy is, but no joy. My searches came up empty, or with butterflies he clearly isn't (Tawny Emperor, Painted Lady, Red Admiral...). Does anybody know? (here are some bumblebees on the same flower for a size comparison)

I used to teach Russian and Ukrainian, and some basic English, to civil servants. Now I teach Russian at a local continued-learning institute. I dabble in Gaelic and Welsh. I'm am amateur photographer and I love birding (in a small way). I'm a Progressive, and a Freethinker, and I know Evolution is a fact - that's FCD, Friend of Charles Darwin (look down the sidebar). I read a lot, and follow women's college basketball. Also I love astronomy, though I'm a rank amateur at it. Most of all, I like living in the reality-based community...

Aha! Thanks!
Thank you! My mother has about 8 of these that swarm her butterfly bush & my kids and I have been trying to ID them!

You're quite welcome. John recommended Kaufman's field guide to butterflies to me, and it's just marvellous.
